GFKĆ1029B Chapter 2 Installing and Starting the Software
SLIP allows a Logicmaster 90Ć30 programmer to communicate to 90Ć30 PLCs on an
Ethernet Network through a dialĆup phone line. A SLIP server (Router) is needed on the
Ethernet network and a modem is needed on the Logicmaster end.
For Logicmaster 90Ć30 Ethernet to use SLIP communications, the Beame & Whiteside
software must be configured for use with SLIP.
The Beame and Whiteside installation requirements are outlined below:
1. Required information to be determined before installing the Beame & Whiteside
software:
Network Card: SLIP
Determine what port in the PC will have the modem for SLIP communication
Hardware Interrupt: 4 for COM1; 3 for COM2.
I/O Address: 3F8 for COM1; 2F8 for COM2.
Buffer = 10,000
No Shared Memory.
The SLIP server must be configured by the Ethernet Network system
administrator to have an IP address to be used by Logicmaster 90 software. See
your network administrator to get the appropriate IP address.
The Subnetwork Mask
be set to 255.255.255.255.
The Default Gateway
be set to 255.255.255.255.
2. Start with the following CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. (In the following
steps, the Beame & Whiteside software will automatically modify them.)
CONFIG.SYS
FILES=20
BUFFERS=48
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 1024
AUTOEXEC.BAT
PROMPT $P$G
PATH=C:\DOS;\C;\
Note that you may need exclude or include statements on the EMM386 line.
3. Install the Beame & Whiteside software.
Do the install for DOS (at the DOS prompt, type a:bwinstall). Do not do the
install for Windows.
Answer SLIP for COM1 or COM2 to the Choose Network Adapter prompt.
4. Choose Packet Driver for the Selected Driver Type.
5. Use the above information in the Network Configuration screen. Default values
should be appropriate for all fields except Hardware Interrupt, I/O address, IP
Address and Default Gateway.
